Hon. Chuks Oseme Executive Chairman, Aniocha North LGA
[dropcap]G[/dropcap]oing by the political permutations in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, it has been envisaged that Hon. Chuks Oseme will always deliver on the dividends of democracy to the good people of Aniocha North. His track record and antecedents during his first term in office are indications that he will do more in his second term. As a man that has broken the jinx by returning for two consecutive terms in the council, his achievements would remain in the annals of history of Aniocha North L.G.A. He is a man whose political profile drastically increases because of his antecedents and commitment towards selfless service to humanity and the grassroots.
However, it would be wise for his detractors to give him breathing space to concentrate and deliver on his mandate to the people that voted him into power.
Stakeholders and Political Leaders in the council are satisfied with Hon. Oseme’s grassroots leadership qualities; that which can be attributed to his emergence as the Chairman of the council for the second term in the January, local government election held in the state. Moreso, they have issued serious warning to either groups or persons no matter how highly placed to desist from such acts which are aimed at tarnishing the image of this amiable, young, vibrant, transparent and sincere man.
It is hereby advised that those disgruntle politicians who indulge in politics of rancor should have a rethink because Hon. Chuks Oseme will continue to move higher politically.
Chief (Dr) Daniel N. Chukwudozie CEO, DOZZY GROUP OF COMPANIES
[dropcap]S[/dropcap]ome leaders are born, some achieve leadership, some have leadership thrust upon them, while only very few have all three embedded in them.Chief (Dr) Daniel N. Chukwudozie, the founding Chairman, Dozzy Group of Companies, the trail-blazing business mogul and industrialist par excellence from Okija , Anambra State, is one of the few good men. He is an embodiment of cerebral articulation, the essence of unparalleled philanthropy, the epitome of intellectual and breathtaking simplicity. The personification of undiluted humanness, the perfect example of leadership symbolism, the paragon of idealism, the soul of humanity, the heart of warrior, the perfect gentleman. It is certainly impossible to gloss over his attributes for greatness. He is a perfect gentleman, a man of valour, the bringer of rain. In the gallery of great leaders and great men, he is without doubt, a rare masterpiece.
Dozzy Group is an indigenous conglomerate birthed by the vision of Sir Chukwudozie who went into business in 1982 as a trader. The trade metamorphosed into a company under the name of Dozzy Nigeria Limited dealing in belt and general goods imported from Europe and Asia. As a workaholic and a man who is always craving to explore new grounds in business, Chukwudozie established Dozzy Oil and Gas Limited and subsidiaries including: Speciality Oil Company Nigeria Limited, Dozzy Plastic Industries Limited, Dozzy Gut-troff Gas Limited, Lubricant Manufacturing Oxygen/Industrial Gas Production, Industrial automotive household as well as high precision plastic products, manufacturing wigs/hair attachments, artificial human hair and oil and gas supply and distribution. He believes in empowering people and has a workforce of over 2000 staff. It only takes a serious and patriotic group in the present circumstances to build a petroleum product storage depot that is capable of handling 120million liters of assorted petroleum products at once hence the facility that was built in Calabar by Dozzy Group has helped to address the scarcity and the attendant high prices of petroleum products in most of the South-South, South-East and parts of Northern Nigeria.”
Chukwudozie has also demonstrated notable cordial relationship with staff and regulatory bodies, customers and suppliers. He once said: “We are not the loud type and except for the serious operators in the down-stream sector of the petroleum industry, many Nigerians may not even know that we are a force to reckon with in the marketing and distribution of petroleum products and lubricants. Sir Chukwudozie believes in development of his state that is why Dozzy Investment Ltd, a subsidiary of Dozzy Group recently signed an MoU with Anambra state government to build another 1, 000 housing units in Awka at the cost of N12.4 billion. Dozzy Investments Ltd has the capacity to develop and manage property, which is mainly housing development. Dozzy Group is expected to build four-bedroom detached duplexes, five-bedroom detached duplexes with a two-room auxiliary buildings, among others.
On his philosophy of life, he said that “Leadership mentoring culture, suitable team, unique and reliable product and service delivery channels, conformity of product and service with international and national standards and policy of giving back to the host communities and the society result in business success as well as impacts society.”In its profile, the Mission of the Dozzy Group is to “ excel and maintain a strong lead in the various types of businesses we engage in, through a strong and consistent emphasis on high quality and social responsibility”.
Dozzy Group aspires to be one of Nigeria’s best regarded conglomerates, measured by their performance and driven by a total commitment to their core values and philosophies. About a year ago, this trail-blazing business mogul and industrialist par excellence from Okija completed and handed over a magnificent three-storey school building in honour of his late Mother, Lady Hannah Ugoyibo Chukwudozie, Mama Dozzy to the Anglican Church, Diocese on the Niger. We all know that wealth can never satisfy man’s want but an act of charity to the glory of God could leverage one’s name for eternity. Chief Chukwudozie’s has become a monumental asset for the memory of not only her late mother but for the remembrance of the family name for good and challenged Christians to always take positive steps at all times to immortalize their names for Christ.We eulogised Dozzy oil CEO for not being carried away by money and all that money could buy and remembered to continue to register his name in the annals of history to the glory of God.
Nigerians were not surprised when the University of Calabar and Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effuru, Delta State on March 11 and March 14, 2017 respectively conferred on him honorary doctorate degrees in Business Administration (honoris causa); and he has also received many honours and awards from various media,The Grassroots Newspaper Publishers that honoured him as the Industrialist of the year. He was voted the most respected Nigerian C.E.O 2010 by This Day Newspaper, Award of Excellence by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council amongst others.
[dropcap]S[/dropcap]takeholders, including the Military and the Lagos State Government(LASG) on Wednesday gave a 48-hour ultimatum to all tanker drivers to vacate the bridge in national interest and security.
The resolution was reached during a stakeholders meeting at the Naval Base in Apapa, comprising the military, Nigerian Port Authority (NPA), LASG, National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG).
Others who attended the stakeholders meeting were representatives of the Nigeria Police Force, Dangote Group, Apapa Residents Association, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, Apapa Government Reserved Area Residents Association, among others.
The Flag Officer Commanding, Western Naval Command of the Nigerian Navy, Rear Adm. Sylvanus Abbah, who was the convener of the meeting, appealed to the tanker drivers to leave the bridge in national interest. According to him, terrorists might take the advantage of the traffic situation to strike in Lagos and this has to be prevented from happening.
“Costain is going to be the turning point of the trucks.
“After 48 hours, no truck will park on the bridge because of national interest and I hope you will all take the decision of this meeting,” he said.He said that some of the trucks had been parked on the bridge for weeks, adding that the bridge might collapse which would be an additional problem.Abbah said a committee would also be set up which would involve the major stakeholders including NUPENG to further address the traffic situation.
“All major stakeholders, most especially the shipping lines will be in the committee and if I have my way, the Apapa Local Government Chairman would spearhead the committee,” he said.
The NPA Traffic Manager, Mr Ogini Victor, who represented the Port Manager, Mrs Aisha Ali-Ibrahim, said that the Apapa gridlock “has become a barber’s chair that is rotating and not moving anywhere”.
“Synergy is the keyword that can solve the problem of the gridlock.“We have also decided that all empty containers should go to holden bays and we will make sure our men give us report on how many trucks park at the bay daily,” he said.
The representative of NUPENG, Comrade Adekunle Adelaja, while reacting to the directive, said that the union does not support tankers parking on the bridge.
He enjoined all stakeholders to find a lasting solution to the problem as it was affecting everyone.“We need to have another meeting and call all the farm tankers. Let us see how we can be able to do the programming that trucks will just go to the depot without parking on the bridge,” he said.The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transport, Mr Taiwo Salau, said that there should be good synergy among security agencies to resolve the traffic situation.
“There should be synergy among security agencies so that these areas can be cleaned up and have a check point before the long bridge,” he said.
[dropcap]S[/dropcap]takeholders of Anioma Newspaper Publishers in Nigeria have said that they will support Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, currently representing Delta North at the national Asembly for re-election in 2019.
They have called on the chairman,Senate Committee on NDDC, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi to re-run for exotic position again because of his outstanding performance and for giving the Anioma Nation a loud voice at the Senate.
Speaking to newsmen recently under the auspices of Anioma Publishers,the Secretary of the pen group Comrade Jude Chukwuah, said the call is hinged on Nwaoboshi’s humanitarian gestures as well as his international exposure.
He said apart from bringing his wealth of experience in transforming the area,since he was inugurated as senator representing Delta North constituency, the people has benefitted immensely.
According to him, “Senator Peter Nwaoboshi is like the golden fish which has no hiding place, he is perfectly fit for the position we are asking him to continue, because his achievements speaks volume.
Also,“This illustrious son of Ibusa, a philanthropist per excellence, a motivator, a bridge builder, an advocate for equal rights and all inclusive government, promoter of peace, unity and equity,is the best man for the seat and nobody can stop him.” he said.
Another member of the group, Ike Abiagom added that; “We have followed the antecedents of our Distinquished Senator Peter Nwaoboshi and believe that the time is right for him to continue as nobody can match him.His exemplary qualities are next to none. Thus, we call on him to re-run for the exalted position to represent the good people of Delta North constituency at the National Assembly.”
He said; “We therefore call on him to re-run as our sole candidate of People Democratic Party , PDP. He has paid his dues and left his footprint on the sand of Anioma nation and Nigeria as a whole, our request is a call for him to continue to salvage the situation once again as our people are now enjoying the dividends of democracy currently unlike before when we use to have a yes representative and not a loud voice at the senate. we are calling other Anioma sons and Daughters who intends to run for the exotic senate position come 2019 to drop their ambition because there is NO VACANCY for now.
[dropcap]D[/dropcap]r Ide Tony Nwaka the Immediate past Delta state education commissioner in the administration of former governor Emmanuel Uduaghan has finally dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), for the All Progressives Congress, (APC) to contest for the National Assembly position and also join forces to dislodge governor Ifeanyi Okowa, HardReporters has learnt.
Mr. Nwaka who was until now the Executive Assistant on education to the governor Okowa, resigned his appointment of six months last week through a post made on his confirmed facebook account.Announcing his defection to the APC through his verified facebook account, Nwaka, said “I step forward in faith to join the next available major option, the APC. I pray that my vision of politics and public service would find true expression with the progressives.”
Mr. Nwaka’s Facebook post is reproduced below:
FINALLY, I SAY GOODBYE TO PDP.
I shall not go into the details of my recent political experiences, for the palm wine tapper does not disclose all that he sees from the treetop. Suffice to say that, after a critical evaluation of the journey so far, it is now time to heed the advice of my followers and seek an alternative vehicle for the actualization of my political convictions.
Although there are many political platforms, every politician craves for genuine accommodation and a sense of belonging. Accordingly, whilst I wish all my former fellow PDP men well, I step forward in faith to join the next available major option, the APC. I pray that my vision of politics and public service would find true expression with the progressives. I do this believing that, ultimately, no matter your sentiments for a political platform, effective service delivery remains the final goal of political parties, and it is on that score we shall all be judged by the people.
[dropcap]A[/dropcap] Block of two Storey Building at Number 5 Police Mobile Force Squardron Barracks, Ogida, in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State rehabilitated by the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC has been inaugurated and handed over to the Edo State Command of the Nigeria Police Force.
The Commissioner Representing Edo State in the Board of the NDDC, Hon. Saturday Idehen Uwuilekhue, who inaugurated the project on behalf of the Governing Board, Management and staff of the Commission, said the event marked a significant milestone in the complimentary efforts of the Niger Delta Development Commission in the development of the Niger Delta Region.
Hon Uwuilekhue flanked by the Director, Edo State Office of the Commission, Dr Akwagaga Lelegima Enyia, stated “NDDC recognizes and appreciates that public security and social stability are extremely important for any society in the world. Nothing is possible without peace and stability. We understand that the Nigerian Police is logistically handicapped in providing adequate and effective security to the Niger Delta Region. To show solidarity with not just the Nigerian Police Force but all security agencies, the NDDC will continue to intervene and provide various infrastructural and social amenities like this one being commissioned and many more across the nine states of the region”.
Continuing, he said, “We have provided Fire Trucks, built living quarters, school buildings and constructed internal road networks in many barracks across the region as well as donated hundreds of patrol vehicles to aid security operatives in the discharge of their duties”.
The Edo State NDDC Commissioner expressed hope that the project would help in mitigating the discomfort experienced by the officers and their families as well as provide the stability that the Mobile Police Officers require to fight against crimes and ensure better and more effective security protection for the residents of Edo State.
Hon. Uwuilekhue assured that the NDDC will not relent in its determination to offer a lasting solutiob to the socio-economic challenges of the Niger Delta Region as it is committed to making a difference.
The Director, Edo State Office of the NDDC, Dr. Akwagaga Lelegima Enyia disclosed that the contract for the residential building awarded for rehabilitation to Easykrest Nigeria Limited in 2015, comprised the demolition and rehabilitation of an existing highly dilapidated block of two storey building into a one block of two storey building of twenty-seven units of one bedroom apartments with toilet and bathroom ensuite, twenty four kitchens and six storerooms.
“It also include the installations of aluminium windows, plumbing and electrical distribution, kitchen cabinets, barriers, guard and balcony rails, Borehole, septic tank, interlocking tiles, furnishing and painting of the building”. adding that the building can accommodate families of twenty-seven police officers.

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]oni Iwobi, a Nigerian IT entrepreneur who has spent 38 years in Italy, has been elected as the first black senator in the European country. An Italian man of Nigerian origin, who is the chief immigration spokesman for the far-right League party, was elected as the country’s first black senator.
Tony Iwobi, whose party has been accused of stirring up xenophobia in Italy, was elected in the industrial city of Brescia in northern Italy a major immigration hub.
“It is with great excitement that I can tell you I have been elected senator… A new adventure is about to begin,”
Iwobi said on Facebook on Tuesday following Sunday’s elections. Born in Gusau in northern Nigeria but living in Italy since the 1970s, Iwobi has been a supporter of the League for more than two decades and used the campaign slogan #StopInvasion a reference to the more than 690,000 migrants who have landed on Italian shores from North Africa since 2013
Along with party leader Matteo Salvini, Iwobi has argued that illegal immigration into Italy has led to an increase in racism.
“Discrimination begins when there are no rules and the state… lets anyone in. Illegality leads directly to violence and a racist response,” he said in January.
“The League supports healthy and controlled immigration which can act as a bulwark against racism,” he said.
Italy’s general election left the country with a hung parliament in which no single party or coalition commands an overall majority. Political horse-trading is underway as parties bid to form a working coalition government.
The League, led by Matteo Salvini, was the winning party in the right-wing alliance that took the most votes on Sunday but fell short of an overall majority.
Iwobi, 62, was born in Nigeria and came to Italy on a student visa some 40 years ago, before going on to marry an Italian woman and start his own IT company here.
Before running for senator he represented the League as a municipal councillor in Spirano back in the 1990s and more recently headed Salvini’s national committee on immigration.
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has labelled Anambra State the leading state in drug peddling, abuse and misuse in the country. Addressing journalists in Awka, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of NDLEA in Anambra State Command, Mr. Charles Efosa Odigie, said that drug barons in Anambra State trade mainly on Methamphetamine, Heroin, Cocaine, Marijuana, cannabis, as well as some other drugs which are being abused today like Tramadol, etc.
He said that there are other drugs like cough syrups with codeine which are legally acceptable are also in the list of abused drugs in the state.According to Odigie, the Codeine content in cough syrup causes serious drowsiness adding that when overdosed, it can lead to health crisis.
His words: “Anambra State is the leading state when it comes to drug abuse, and we have been doing our best to reduce the scourge to the barest minimum.“Only recently, we discovered and destroyed lands where Methamphetamine was produced. Again, we made a big seizure of Methamphetamine, which is regarded as the most potent drug in the world. This dangerous drug is produced in some parts of Anambra.
“We are teaming up with Umunachi community in the state to fight the scourge. They have been calling us for raid at the hideouts of the peddlers.”
Odigie said that a big seizure was recently made in the community regretting that they could not arrest the syndicate during the raid.He urged other communities in the state to emulate Umunnachi town by reporting anybody suspected of peddling drugs in their community.
He added: “We shall be very grateful because these people doing it are members of our communities. They are not spirits; so we can fight them to standstill.“As a body, we are doing our best; the state government under Governor Willie Obiano, is also doing its best to assist us in this fight.”
The NDLEA image maker in the state further said that the Anambra State Government had assisted the state command of the NDLEA with vehicles, money and motorcycles to enable them carry out their assignments successfully.
While advising youths to stay off drug abuse describing it as dangerous, he commended the Anambra State Commander of the NDLEA, Mr. Sule Momodu, for his strides and sleepless nights in making sure that drug abuse is drastically managed in Anambra
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he living legend Chief Barr.Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi, the Aguwajiejemba of Ibusa, Oshimili of Akwukwu Igbo Kingdom, Ide of Okpanam Kingdom and Ochiagha of Anioma, is an oracle of wisdom and man of Unquantifiable intelligence. Senator Peter Nwaoboshi by international assessment is a political prowess whose effort at enthroning transparency,accountability and fairness is unparallel. An apotheosis of leadership, an academic wizard, Senator Nwaoboshi’s display of intellectual vastness, oratory garb and courageous disposition has given him an edge to be a great leader of our time.
He was born in 1957, an intellectual with four Degrees, BA Hons (1986), LLB Law, Uniben, BL Law School, LLM Masters Degree from Abraka. A Political Administrator with vast experience of over 35 years. He was A Political Aide to the then Governor of defunct Bendel State in 1979, Chairman NRC, Old Oshimili LGA from 1991-93, State Deputy Chairman, DPN Party from 1995-97.
A founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Delta State Chapter, the first State Secretary, PDP Delta State Chapter in 1998. Indeed his Chambers was made the first PDP Secretariat, Delta Chapter. Political Adviser to Chief James Onanefe Ibori, Former Governor of Delta State. He was Commissioner for Agriculture and Special Duties in Delta State and Abuja respectively. Chairman, Raw Materials Research and Development Council, Abuja. He is the Father of Equity in Delta Politics, whose struggle gave birth to Anioma born governor. He was elected PDP Delta State Party Chairman in 2008, later re-elected in 2012. Responding to his people’s (ANIOMA) call, he resigned his Chairmanship position to contest for the Delta North Senatorial Seat in 2015 which he won convincingly.
He is a man who knows the murky waters of Delta politics like the back of his palms, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, representing Delta North Senatorial District and immediate past State Chairman of the Delta State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has lots of things to say when he finally writes his memoirs as one of the most focused and patriotic politician to have ever come from Delta North Senatorial District.
Going back in the days when Delta North (Anioma) people were not at the fore front of Political Leadership in the state and beyond, the oracle of Delta State Politics, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi was just standing with very few and he never gave up building a formidable and challenging Political Structure comprising of people of INTEGRITY majorly from the Anioma extraction.
Today, the result of his patience and steady positive progress stands for every Delta North (Anioma) Citizen to benefit from. He keeps his promise to always make himself available to serve the people of Delta North (Anioma) in any capacity as he currently serves as Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. As Delta State Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, he weathered all storms to build a formidable, impregnable and unconquerable party in the state. During his tenure, he provided the party executives official cars right from the state party executives to the local government and built a befitting state secretariat for the party which was described by the then National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu as the best in the country.
He is an astute voice for his people; fought for his people’s common goals and understands the feelings and plights of his people. He fought a gallant fight to ensure that key stakeholders respects the party’s zoning arrangement in the state which eventually saw to the emergence of the grassrooted and political technocrat Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, a Delta Northerner, as Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in a kinly contested party primary which he eventually won to become the first Anioma son to emerge Governor of the multi-ethnic Delta State. His dogged political exploits paid off again in the Senate as he was appointed Chairman of the Senate Committee on Niger Delta Deveopment Commission (NDDC) and has since commenced work while urging the NDDC to improve on her performances by making sure that the people gets value for their money.
Distinguished Senator Nwaoboshi has begun making his marks in the Senate as he has sponsored a Bills for the amendment of the Code of Conduct Tribunal Act in a bid to make it in tune with current realities and international best practices and also the reviewed and amended Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Establishment Act of 2000, to make it mandatory for International Oil and Gas Companies to set aside three percent of their budget for the development of the Niger Delta region.
Senator Nwaoboshi is a man of towering political heights. It is therefore not unexpected that mudslingers, paid critics and blackmailers will sponsor damaging stories against the “ORACLE”. He believes so much in the words of the great philosopher Aristotle, “To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.” Since joining public service, he has never been unwary of critics because he knows and understands the benefits of good criticism for a leader.
However, when criticism becomes destructive and intended to score cheap political points, he also draws a lesson from the words of Dale Carnegie, when he said “Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”
He has since forgiven all his critics who are bent on blackmailing him into parting with huge sums of money to feather their nests, but because he has refused to yield to their blackmail and mudslinging they have resorted to media onslaught on his person. Having achieved mystical feat which Napoleon Bonaparte of France could not even achieve , and being a political enigma with divine gift of intelligence and eloquence which could be likened to that of President Obama of America, it is expected that our Titan and detribalized leader will secure the total support of the people Delta North (Anioma Nation)unopposed to represent them for the second term come 2019 because the Anioma nation has a loud voice now at the National Assembly on like before.
[dropcap]E[/dropcap]verybody loves speedy internet, so it’s no surprise that every major telecom firm in the country is working to make it even faster. Smartphones, watches, homes, and cars are increasingly requiring stable internet connections. When you’re looking at buying a new phone, you might find that there are way too many acronyms to choose from, between CDMA, GSM, LTE, and WiMax; the list goes on. What does any of these mean? It can be easier to focus simply on the differences in these networks as they apply to you directly.
The simplest explanation is that the “G” in 4G stands for generation, that is fourth generation of mobile data technology, as defined by the radio sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
What is 4G?
The ITU set standards for 4G connectivity in March of 2008, requiring all services described as 4G to adhere to a set of speed and connection standards. For mobile use, including smartphones and tablets, connection speeds need to have a peak of at least 100 megabits per second, and for more stationary uses such as mobile hotspots, at least 1 gigabit per second.
When these standards were announced, these speeds were unheard of in the practical world, because they were intended as a target for technology developers, a point that marked a significant jump over the current technology. Over time, the systems that power these networks have caught up, not just in the sense that new broadcasting methods have found their way into products, but the previously-established 3G networks have been improved to the point that they can be classified as 4G.
What is LTE?
LTE stands for Long Term Evolution, and is nott as much a technology as it is the path followed to achieve 4G speeds. As it stands, most of the time when your phone displays the “4G” symbol in the upper right corner, it doesn’t really mean it. When the ITU set the minimum speeds for 4G, they were a bit unreachable, despite the amount of money tech manufacturers put into achieving them. In response, the regulatory body decided that LTE, the name given to the technology used in pursuit of those standards, could be labeled as 4G if it provided a substantial improvement over the 3G technology.
Immediately networks began advertising their connections as 4G LTE, a marketing technique that allowed them to claim next-gen connectivity without having to reach the actual required number first; it would be like the U.S. claiming they had landed on the moon because they got pretty close and the spaceship that got them there was a lot better than the previous ship. It’s not entirely trickery though, despite inconsistent speeds depending on location and network, the difference between 3G and 4G is immediately noticeable.
To make matters more confusing, you’ll also likely come across LTE-A at some point. This stands for Long Term Evolution Advanced, and it takes us a step closer to proper 4G. It offers faster speeds and greater stability than normal LTE. It’s also backwards compatible and works by aggregating channels, so instead of connecting to the strongest signal in your vicinity, you can download data from multiple sources at the same time.
So the real question is, can you feel a difference between 4G and LTE networks? Is the speed of loading a page or downloading an app on your handhelddevice a lot faster if you have LTE technology built in? Probably not, unless you live in a city. While the difference between slower 3G networks and new 4G or LTE networks is certainly very noticeable, many of the 4G and “true 4G” networks have upload and download speeds that are almost identical. The roll out of LTE-A is starting to make a difference, but your mileage may vary. For now, LTE-A is the fastest connection available for wireless networks.
Challenges of using 4G, 4G LTE
When comparing the two, one challenge of using 4G and 4G LTE – if you’re currently using 3G – is that you will probably need to purchase a new smartphone with 4G capabilities. 3G devices simply cannot provide the 4G experience. You must also be in an area that offers a 4G network. If you want to use 4G LTE, your mobile device must support it, and you must be in an area that delivers 4G LTE service.
Another challenge is choosing a cell phone carrier that offers 4G or 4G LTE service. 4G is offered in most areas now, but 4G LTE may not be available. That’s why it’s important to check your carrier’s coverage map. If experiencing 4G LTE is something that matters to you, you will want to find a carrier that offers the most 4G LTE coverage.
Choosing 4G or 4G LTE
Choosing 4G or 4G LTE comes down to what speeds you require or prefer. If you need or want the fastest speeds available, you will want to buy a smartphone that supports 4G LTE. In addition, you will want to check the coverage maps for different carriers to see who offers 4G LTE in the most areas, or at least the areas where you spend the most time such as your home and workplace. It’s also a good idea to visit a wireless retail location to test the different network speeds yourself. You will find a noticeable difference between 3G, 4G, and 4G LTE.
